In the past 50 years, Bangkok has changed dramatically in many ways. The first improvement deals with technology. In the present, people around the world can connect faster because they have the Internet, and mobile phones. The following improvement facilitate people to run business. In addition, development in surgery is improved so it is safer for people to treat in hospitals. Different from the present, letters were the only way that people could communicate in the distant area. Sending letters spends many days to reach recipients. About medical, doctors had to guess patients’ symptom and treated what patients felt because there were no x-ray machines, ultrasound machines and so on. The second improvement is concerned with transportation. People spend less time going to other places because sky train and subway have high speed. Moreover, merchandise can be transported to other countries because they are transferred by flights. In contrast, trains are still available but there were less speed when they are compared with sky train or subway. People can only transport imported merchandises through ships. Transport by ships took long time and sometimes merchandises were broken. People’s lifestyle is the final difference between the present and the past, people usually work in the office which is located on downtown and central business district. There are a few members in the family because people have a few children. In the past, farming is the main job that people did. Most of the families were large because people had many children and also lived with their relatives. In conclusion, these examples show that everything has changed in Bangkok when technology and progress influence people.

1. Critically assess the dependency theory’s explanation of the lack of development in less developed countries.
2. Critically discuss the different conceptions of development. Does the basic needs theory (which adheres to a broader conception of development) have what it takes to propel the LDCs todevelopment?
1.
According to the Encarta Dictionary development is the process of changing and becoming larger, stronger or more impressive, successful or advanced, or of causing somebody or something to change in this way. In the light of this that Dennis Goulet defines development as liberation from poverty and from a stunted view of self.
The dependency theory prevailed in the 1960’s and came to reject the central assumptions of the modernization theory, which emphasizes that industrialization, the introduction to mass media and the diffusion of western ideas would transform traditional economies and societies. These impart would place poor countries on a path of development similar to that experience by western industrialized nations. Therefore the theory addresses the problem of poverty and economic underdevelopment throughout the world. Dependency theorists argue that dependence upon foreign aid impedes...

...﻿Indicators of development
Economic development usually refers to the adoption of new technologies, transition from agriculture-based to industry-based economy, and general improvement in living standards (www.businessdictionary.com). In addition, economic development expands the availability of work and the ability of individuals to secure an income to support themselves and their families. Economic development includes industry, sustainable agriculture, as well as integration and full participation of global economy.
On the contrary, Mayhew (1997) refers to sustainable development as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, not simply the use of resources at a rate at which could be maintained without diminishing future levels, but development which also takes social implications into account. In addition website borgenproject.org/5-examoples-sustainable-development highlights that sustainable development can be reduced to two key concepts: needs and limitations. The needs, of course, being those of the world’s poor, ‘the needy’. The limitations are those imposed by the state of technology and social organization or the environment’s ability to meet present and future needs.
The term ‘indicators of development’ is also known as...

...developing adolescent that interconnects with a series of reciprocal systems. I can recall as a developing adolescent quickly maturing into adulthood, the many social, economic, external and internal influences that contributed to certain at-risk behaviors. These type of influences impacted me directly and indirectly. I was influenced by the several environments I was in, and I also contributed to influencing the environment around me. Attempting to exert control over uncontrollable circumstances only lead to desperate situations and weighty consequences. However, learning to accept my present circumstances, and how to appropriately respond to the hardship and temptations in life developed positive life changes.
Individual human development occurs within interconnected and embedded ecological systems (McWhirter et al, 2013). The ecological systems include the individual, the microsystem, the mesosystem, the exosystem, and macrosystem (McWhirter et al, 2013). The individual consists of genetic and biological factors, and personality characteristics (McWhirter et al, 2013). The microsystem consists of the people that the individual comes into direct contact with and who the individual interacts with (McWhirter et al, 2013). The mesosystem is the embedded interconnections between different microsystems and the impact of the interactions that take place (McWhirter et al, 2013). The exosystem consists of the interconnections between one or more settings that...

Leadership
Leadership skills can be used anywhere where you are required to take the lead,
professionally socially, or at home with your family and friends. Leaders become leaders
because of their reliability, capability and because people want to follow them. Leaders are
those people who get things done because they want to; they take the lead in things and
make it easier for others. They usually are people who are collected, composed and can think
strategically.
1. How did you realize it was your strength or weakness?
2. Examples from the past when you had a chance to apply your skill and realize it was a
strong or weak point.
I was always a leader in my class and I had to sort a lot of things out between my group of
friends. I'd never actually realized that I was a leader because my leadership qualities were
(not boasting here) instinctive, and came naturally to me. I became aware that I owned
leadership qualities when my friends told me that I'm good at being a leader and that I'm
always listening to what they've got to say… Leaders are required to have qualities such as
being good listeners, being open minded and accept that everyone has a right of having their
own point of view.

A Case Study of a Pathological Liar
Introduction
A pathological liar lies compulsively and impulsively, almost without thinking about the consequences of his action. He/she lies regularly on a spontaneous basis even if he/she gains no benefit from it, or even if he/she traps into it. A pathological liar cannot control his impulse to lie and it is usually a self-defeating trait. These are people who tell lies when there is no clear benefit for them to do so. An individual who is not a pathological liar may lie to avoid punishment or ridicule. He or she may be less-than-truthful to avoid hurting someone else. When the problem of lying is at the point where the person is unable to control it, that person is considered to be a pathological liar.
Lying. Dissembling. Prevaricating. They are all different labels for versions of the same activity: deliberately misleading others and getting them to believe something that is not true, through words or actions. In some cases, lying can be compulsive and with no apparent reason for it. That’s what mental health professionals refer to as pathological lying or “Pseudologia fantastica.”
Understanding the Pathological Liar
Basically, a pathological liar is someone who tells lies habitually, chronically and compulsively. It has simply become a way of life for this person, to make up...
